Predictions for our seed and first round game?

I’m reading all these bracket projections on different sites and some of them having us falling all the way to 8th. I’m not buying that. I think Notre Dame jumps us but not Ohio State, as I don’t think the committee can punish us too much for keeping it close with #1. That would make us the 6th seed and we’d likely be hosting either SMU or Alabama, whoever they decide to put in that last at large spot. If we end up staying the highest ranked at large we get either ASU or Clemson. And if they drop us below OSU it looks like we’ll get Tennessee or Indiana.

I’m going to say that we’ll be the 6th seed hosting SMU. I think we drop below Notre Dame and SMU gets in over Alabama.
